Although tumor treatment is mainly based on surgery and radiotherapy, TCM also has a role that cannot be underestimated, especially for patients in advanced stages or those who have lost the best time for treatment, TCM can not only alleviate their pain, but also may achieve survival with tumor. Take gastric cancer as an example, a patient with gastric cancer has been seen in the clinic, whose condition was in the middle and late stage at the time of surgery, and did not undergo systematic chemotherapy due to poor bone marrow function. However, the nourishing poultices used are not the same for different tumors, different symptoms and different conditions. For example, for post-surgery patients, the poultices may include angelica, astragalus, aconite, jujube, etc.; for radiotherapy patients, the poultices may include dendrobium, maitong, tortoise board, etc. It should be emphasized that the nourishing poultices for tumor patients are different from those sold in ordinary pharmacies, as poultices for tumor patients can be eaten all year round. Generally speaking, the cream prescriptions are divided into Qi tonic formula, blood tonic formula, Yin tonic formula, Yang tonic formula, spleen tonic formula, stomach tonic formula and kidney tonic formula, which basically include the common discomfort symptoms of tumor patients and need to be taken under the guidance of doctors. 2.Different tumors, with different foods About 70% of tumor patients need radiotherapy, but the radiation will hurt other tissues in the body, resulting in radioactive dermatitis, limb weakness, and discomfort such as decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, thrombocytopenia, anemia. In the view of Chinese medicine, this is a manifestation of excessive heat toxicity, and different dietary regimen can be carried out according to different radiotherapy sites. Head and neck tumors include nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, etc. After radiotherapy, these patients will have dry mouth, edema of throat, and even difficulty in eating. At this time, the diet advocates cool, sweet and moist, nourishing yin and producing fluid, and more cold foods are used, with rice, wheat and beans as the main food; meat focuses on pork, duck, goose, crab, etc.; vegetables include radish, spinach, celery, wild rice, bitter melon, etc.; fruits such as pear, banana, water chestnut and watermelon are recommended. 4.Eat lung and phlegm-removing chest tumors including esophageal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and mediastinal tumors, etc. These patients are prone to radioactive esophagitis, radioactive pneumonia and other discomforts after radiotherapy. The diet at this time should be based on clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening lung and resolving phlegm, and it is recommended to choose yam, lotus seed, fungus, lily, tofu, duck, turtle, jujube and milk. In addition, you can also drink five rice porridge, 1 to 2 times a day, that is, with raw coix seeds, walnuts, lotus seeds, black sesame, rice grinded and cooked porridge. Pelvic tumors include cervical cancer, rectal cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. After radiotherapy, some patients will have acute radiation enteritis and chronic radiation enteritis, which are manifested as abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucus stool, bloody stool or increased number of stools. At this time, the diet should be less and more frequent, with more high-calorie and high-protein foods, such as yam, onion, fresh amaranth, fresh lotus root, eggplant, loofah and red beans. In short, try to avoid hot foods such as mutton, rabbit, onion, ginger, garlic, lychee, durian, longan, etc. after radiotherapy to avoid fire symptoms. Or gargle with mint boiled water to relieve the pain caused by mouth ulcers.
